Al Cine Vámonos - Braceros

November 14, 2016

Between 1942 and 1964, an estimated two million Mexican men came to the United States on short-term labor contracts. The bracero program touched the lives of countless men, women, families, and communities. Both bitter and sweet, the bracero experience tells a story of exploitation but also of opportunity.

This podcast features curator Mireya Loza discussing the use of leisure time among bracero workers.
